Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication arising from a past traffic accident where a pedestrian on a skateboard was struck by a pedal cycle. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to a residual effect of this specific incident, rather than the initial acute injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of chronic issues directly attributable to a collision between a skateboarder and a pedal cycle that occurred in a traffic setting. This applies when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury but is experiencing sequelae.

• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident.
• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., pain, scar, nonunion).
• Confirm the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequelae, indicating a late effect.
